Guys,

   Don't give this a lot of time (3.5.12 backport of sftp fix). I have kdebase 
successfully configuring, but I get an early error building kate. The build 
can't find kdebase/kate/app/.libs/libkdeinit_kate.so

   The build is correct, it's not there. The .la and .lai files are there, but 
not the .so. The .so is already on the system as /opt/kde3/lib/libkdeinit_kate.so.

   I don't know if the build fail is caused by the .lai saying it is already 
installed or the .la saying it isn't, or if this is just some gcc47 hiccup 
that we just are not going to get past. It seems I've been hit by this issue 
before, but I cannot recall for the life of me what the fix was.

   There is no question that the build finds the existing lib, but then 
somehow isn't doing something right. The error is:

   If anyone has a quick fix, I'd be glad to try it, if not, I'll just put 
this on the back burner for now... IIRC this might take a makefile sed or patch..
